UK horror film Splintered is to feature in Coronation Street on Friday, with characters Sian and Sophie all set to watch the film with their on-screen boyfriends Ryan and Lee.
Splintered director Simeon Halligan had the following to say on the film’s inclusion in the long running British soap: “I’m really chuffed Splintered plays a key role in Friday’s episode of Coronation Street. And of course, having worked at Granada TV for many years myself – and actually on Corrie itself back in the 90s it seems fitting the movie gets a nod here before its UK release in July!”
Splintered is a psychological horror focused on the troubled central character of Sophie (Holly Weston). Splintered is the debut feature film from the Manchester-based production company Not A Number, the company responsible for the Grimm Up North horror festival.
